Delivering On Demand Apps on Windows 10
You can distribute applications to Windows 10 devices, allowing for a seamless user experience.
There are two ways to distribute applications: On Demand and Auto. On Demand allows users to initiate the download and install of an app presented in the Intelligent Hub app catalog when they decide that they need access to the app. Auto will download and install the app automatically on the device without requiring the user to interact with the app from the Intelligent Hub app catalog.
